Our Weighty Issue

One of the most challenging things about selling our jewelry in the Fine Arts & Craft shows around Southern California that we visit is that you are often doing so outdoors.  With that reality comes a lot of uncertainty as you sometimes never know what the weather will have in store for you.  Rain is what disappoints you the most, but wind is what scares us tent dwelling vendors even more.

One strong gust at the Woodland Hills show a couple of years ago picked up our staked tent and turned it into a sail.  A 30 pound bag of canvas clad sand attached to one of the legs was lifted in the air and smashed into one of our cases.  We'd never had such a devastating event and it caused us to leave the show prior to the close, something we had never done, nor have since.

So we decided to go hard core and create four of these bad boys that you see here, which we like to call,.... our Weightinators!!!  These thick pipes with solid steal bolts anchored in solid concrete that was poured within them are then lashed to our tent legs using heavy duty Velcro fasteners.  With these guys on our tent legs, we're feeling much more comfortable when a gust of wind comes around.  Come see them in action at our next show.

ElizaWire joins the Blogosphere

If you've visited our website over the last few weeks, you're probably realizing that we've had a few changes In fact, we've changed the look a couple of times since this last week.  Well,...after changing the software we use to build our site, we are finding this new XSite Pro software much easier to use and feel it will allow us to update our website frequently

Please forgive us for the different looks these last few weeks and the extended time we had there where nothing had been updated.  We plan to rectify that situation with our newly designed website.

Stay tuned for future blog postings and more frequent site updates and thank you for visiting our humble website.
